Well done but do it with a bit more comfort next time. That frame is made for a front basket to put your snacks in.
I purchased the bike from the son of the original owner who was 15 whe he got it in 1954. That is the comfortable saddle I've ever had it is only from the 60's, the bike rides very well, I feel I might have had a metric in me if I started earlier. Next week I'll do it on 30lb. bike instead of a 40+. BTW I wish I could go to the Pepin or ABCE someday. Thanks for the compliments.
